P-51A NO CANNONS

[phatzo]

  I sometimes enjoy the comedy on the BBS,

this one had me laughing

You'd see no more head on shots than you see now.

Megalodon, screwing up in the past doesn't justify screwing up again. P-51A with free cannons is still just a retard move.

I actually agree with this, but only because dear jager doesn't know a P-51 from a P-51A.

[Megalodon]

People don't complain about getting killed by P-51s, I personally murder more Ponys than any other plane. They complain about the facts there are lots of them...oh well.

 You may enjoy this thread you will see some get rampant when you mention the 20mm stang    ...... some good shots of the 51 and 51A.... I meant to go back and put the Na-73/83 in this thread but spaced. I did miss label a picture tho

I really do wish you would learn your aircraft better. The P-51A never had cannons. The P-51 (no variant designation) had four 20mm.

Yes, I know that.  I was being lazy and not in the mood to be pedantic.

Is it possible to discuss aircraft on this board without being pedantic?

I would say so. As long as we stick to what is actually relevant to the game.

I specified no cannons because I wanted no controversy, to get across the point that I don't have a case of "cannon envy" I simply want a cool but non-uber airplane that lots of people will like having.

Sounds like a fun plane.  If fun planes prompt guys to log in more often then throw some cannons in that thing and lets go.  I'll take getting HOed over slow action on a big map any day.

 The P-51A never had cannons so no specification was needed ...the point I'm making is if we are going to get a new 51 we should get at least 3 and the 51A isn't 1 of the 3.

If you say so. Somehow I think not.

What you are forgetting is that it will be a P-51, thus a guaranteed place in the top-10 used planes. Anything with 4 cannons, let alone hispanos, can get easy kills.  or if the cannons on the A pony were the drum fed 60 RPG ones (were they?).

Not that it should not be added, but it may needs to be perked and in any case, I see it very low on the priority list.

  I did some checking on this because I didnt know the answer and the best I can find was the cannons had 125 rounds each and was belt fed.

Maybe, my current squad is probably sick of trying to clear me when I shouldn't have turned back in in the first place.  

 *** Or maybe they view me as bait? Hmmmmm...

If you say so. Somehow I think not.

Look at earlier posts of mine on the subject.  I refer to the P-51 when talking about cannon armed examples.

[Ack-Ack]

Enjoy.
